[Bordeaux-threads-devel] Deprecating recursive locks

[Stelian Ionescu]

They're an ugly hack, as described their inventor David Butenhof
(http://tinyurl.com/butenhof-recursive-mutexes) and aren't supported by
all lisps: Allegro, Clozure, CMUCL, SBCL(it has a kind of recursive
lock, but it's not a posix recursive lock), so I was thinking of making
a 1.0 release in which to remove them altogether.

What do you think ?
